Neonatal pain management: Barriers to and facilitators of data entry in the Better Outcomes Registry & Network (BORN) Ontario Information System

In April 2014 a new pain management data element was added to The Better Outcomes Registry & Network (BORN) Information System (BIS) to collect information on pain management used during newborn screening (breastfeeding, skin-to-skin care, sucrose, none). The purpose of this cross-sectional telephone survey is to identify barriers and facilitators to data entry of the newborn pain management data elements into the BIS. Nurse Managers (or their nominees) from a representative sample (n=25) of Ontario maternal newborn units will be interviewed. Issues related to data entry will be explored.
